Re: Finding "gigs"

[Rick Walker <looppool@cruzio.com>]

When I first started trying to get 'live looping' gigs,  I just went out 
and
tried to find small, struggling art galleries and coffee shops:

Any place that was open minded and could use 15 or 20 people coming into 
their
space.

Another approach is to put together a battery powered setup and go 'busk'
on the street.

You're coming to the festival in October, right?
That'll be a nice venue for you.    I'd make sure that you video tape it 
or get someone to video for you, so
that you can put it up on youtube (and also hand it , in the form of a 
DVD ,  to any potential venue that
you are trying to play at).

Good luck,

Rick
